Kept coming back for more! - I have just finished my third tour with Fayoz. I booked a 3 hour tour initially (ancient Samarkand- brilliant) and then I decided to sign up for another 3 hour tour (on the general highlights of Samarkand- also brilliant). And today we did an all day tour which was over the mountains (beautiful and stopped for lunch with spectacular views) and over to Shakhrisabz. (Fantastic history.
There are some great shops there much better than the crazy crowded markets in the bazaar in Samarkand. I wish I did all my shopping here in style and silence).
Fayoz is such a great guide. What started as a 3 hour tour has become two days of solid learning from a guy who is kind and considerate of his customers needs. I honestly recommend him so highly, his English is excellent and his knowledge is extensive.
The drive home back over the mountains as the sun set and my heart and soul was full. This is well worth the trip!
